[nabs-l] connecting to the internet service on a braille note

[Ashley Bramlett]

but with a netbook, I have to install jaws and buy a virus security package.
I just wanted something handy to browse the web while I'm out or on vacation 
and figured I might give the braille note a try since I have it.

Ashley,

How much does human ware charge for a network card. Remember, you can get an
inexpensive net book for under $300 and I have seen them on sail for half of
that. A net book will allow u to do far more than the Braille note, even
with the network card. It is probably a better investment.
